In 28 BC Rome’s population was 4,063,000 (including men and women).
Most of the Roman population was poor.
In 8 BC their population was 4,233,000 people.
In AD 14 their population was 4,937,000 people.
Rome made up about 15% of the world’s population at one point.
From the middle of the third to the end of the second centuries B.C., the adult male population was estimated to have risen from about 200,000 to 400,000 individuals.
What we tend not to consider is the fact that this privileged life-style was enjoyed by only about 5% of robe’s population.
The remaining 95% living at or below the [[#|poverty]] level.
Current Problems:
From 1945 to 1969 around 90 million babies were born. (U.S.A.)
In 2007, the former U.S. Census Director from 1994-1998, Martha [[#|Farnsworth]] Riche, said video that [[#|immigration]] accounts for maybe 1/2 of the U.S. population growth, the birth rate is at replacement level, and the primary source of population growth occurs because people are not dying as young as they used to. The video is from [[#|an online course]] called the Habitable Planet.
The U.S. fertility rate, formerly at 2.1 children per woman is now 1.9, estimates demographer Joseph Chamie, former director of the UN Population Division and more recently research director at the Center for Migration Studies.
218,000 more mouths to feed each day, 80 million more each year, a global population now close to 7 billion.
It has been suggested that the global population will stabilize at 9 billion in 2050 and 10 billion in 2150.
The numbers mean that the human population quadrupled in one century. In 2004, the global population reached 6.350 billion people, and the USA had 292 million people (4.6% of the total) [1]. In 1900, the USA only had 80 million people [14], which represented 4.2% of the global population. Although the rate of population growth is expected to slow down in the future, the [[#|earth]] has already reached 7 billion people, and that is a lot of souls to hold, feed, and satisfy. And the human population continues growing day by day.
* How does overpopulation lead to homelessness? Overpopulation could create too many people [[#|looking for jobs]] at the same time, and leaving many people unemployed. Also, many people looking for work puts downward pressure on wages. Similarly, overpopulation could led to more people looking [[#|for housing]] than there are housing units, leaving many to crowd and live in near homeless situations. High housing demand would also increase prices. Homelessness would then result from the unemployment, low wages, high housing prices, and housing crowding, because many families and individuals would get pushed out of the normal housing market and into squatter [[#|communities]] and other "homeless like" accommodations.
What do we do to try and stop overpopulation and homelessness?
Overpopulation often is self controlling and is the reason for baby booms followed by baby busts. It also drives emigration from overpopulated to less populated. Other policies to promote lower population growth include education, and contraception.
How does homelessness affect our cities?
Homelessness affects the quality of life in cities, can create unhealthy living environments, and lead to excess costs to society for the health, crime and shelter costs. Also, the people who are homeless suffer dehumanization, violence, and indignities. Thank you for your time.
